Commentary

This painting, probably a view of the Hemlock Pool on Twachtman’s Greenwich property or the hillside to the northwest of his home, was part of the collection formed by John Pickering Lyman (1847–1914), a noted collector of European and American paintings as well as of Oriental pottery. The painting was inherited by Lyman’s sister Theodora Lyman, who donated it to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, in 1919. The painting remained in the collection until 1981, when it was deaccessioned. While in a private collection in the late 1980s, it was destroyed in a fire.
